This contest is open to any yoyoer or non yoyoer around the world. No restriction of nationality or whatsoever (except for BIYO 2011 organizer committee).

Every contestant of this contest must design a poster depicting your imagination of how a yoyo god would be. Be creative, innovative, and original; it’s up to you create and interpret your own yoyo god poster. For the content, it can be anything as long it’s still in a setting of a poster. FYI, BIYO is also the only way you can get a “YOYO GOD” title by winning the B.O.B contest where you need to master all the 5 divisions of yoyoing. Got an idea already? Any style or method in designing the poster is permitted.

The poster you design must be in A3 size printable format. The exact size of an A3 paper is 297 mm × 420 mm. You can read the wikipedia page about paper size for further information about the A3 paper size. You may design the poster whether in portrait format or landscape format.

If you use a an actual yoyo or any other product in your poster in any way, the product must has no logo/trademark of a brand in it. You can edit it or whatsoever to make it so. Any poster depicting a registered brand or trademark explicitly will be disqualified.

The content of the poster must not depicting any actual yoyoer, whether in words, ilustrations, or photos.

Every poster you designed must contain BIYO 2011 logo and “yoyo god logo” in it. You can download the two logo below. The “yoyo god logo” we provide is in GIF format, it has some transparent part as it is designed to has so. Any color/fill customization for BIYO 2011 logo is prohibited. Special exception for “yoyo god logo”, you may customize the color/fill of the logo so it fits your poster design and theme. Customizations to change the size of the both logo are permitted. Be creative!

Note that the color of “yoyo god logo” provided below is WHITE. You might think there’s nothing appear on the screen when you open the image because the white color of the logo blend together with the white color of your screen ; actually the image is there, you just can’t see it maybe.
